Chateau Time-Travel: Women's History Month Edition (Reply)

*puts on an old-timey hat* Dearest friends Internet fairies closest to my (heaving) bosom, I call you to this post to share in our delight of the miracle that is Dolley Madison, REBORN! Beholdeth our liveblog!

*puts on theatre manager hat* The role of Dolley Madison will be played tonight by the exquisite Eve Best. Familiar to discerning audiences as the ever-illuminescent Doctor Eleanor O'Hara on the program "Nurse Jackie." If you are not familiar, perhaps this gif-ification will prove inspiring.

J: HOLY FUCK BALLS! WHAT EVEN IS THIS?!!K: LOOK AT HER TRYING NOT TO LAUGH!M: SHE’S TOTALLY LIKE, I AM THE STAR! I AM DOLLEY MADISON! (J: BITCHES!) AND I SAID THIS THING!

J: Thank you, the government, for giving people tiny amounts of money to make terrible things like this.

M: check out the CGIJ: It looks like a game of Civilization

K: that’s whatsherface from the Killing!M: and Big Love!

J: I like how this is her as a child. Look here’s Eve Best as a child. Looks just like Eve Best.K: with braids in her hair. but she didn’t have a fancy hat so you could tell

J: I feel like her approach (to her accent) is just to not open her mouth---

K: I think we can all testify to her powers of fascination.

M: can we talk about the part where she acted alluring while some guy voice-over’ed how alluring she was?

J: Violet Crawley!

M: Can I just talk about how much I love that it’s Eve Best playing every fucking age of her?!?!

J: It’s like community theatre.

K: it’s the bonnet that makes it

K: it’s something about her eyesJ: she’s like they’re not paying me enough to open my mouth

J: they were like: here, read this entire book why we film you in front of this green screen

K: the only age marker is what her hair looks like

J: she totally has a crush on her grand-aunt; all she talks about is how hot she was

K: see now she’s marriageable again because she has a hat

K: I love how all the other women think she’s a babe too

K: you can’t say that to a quakerM: she’s telling her that he masturbates thinking about her

J: he’s telling her cousin that he has wet dreams about herthat was totally the me gusta faceM: that’s where me gusta came from, James Madison
